Try a 46mm to 50mm rollout. Some of us are running that motor right now since it was our handout at the regionals.

James,
In my experience, if i'm looking for a little more steering coming out of a corner (on power) I shorten the shock by 1/2 turn on the ball end. This takes away droop, and rear traction, giving the car more on power exit steering. I use it as a fine tuning adjustment.....but it makes a huge difference :nod:

Hey guy's I have a simple question.

The steering block on the king-pin.
Shoud one ream them out so that they float on the king pin.

or leave them snug. so that they ride up and down with the king-pin.

Just curious, and why.


Thanks

what do you guys think of the hara kit for the 12l4.what are the main differences between how a t bar,and pivot ball car handles????i got a 12l4 i can run both ways i never owned a 12th scale before.planning on using it on new pavement new track suface outdoors.whats the big differnce between having the servo flat or up at an angle?what 19 turn to get,was looking at checkpoint money???

You should ream them so the kingpin slides freely in the spindle with no play.

If you leave it tight you can crash and have the king pin push up and preload the spring making you car handle really bad.

If you ream the spindle the kingpin will always slide back to its proper orrientation.

Be sure to ream the spindle after installing your axles. Knurled and threaded axles like the Parma and CRC units will swell the plastic around them. If you install the axles after reaming the kingpin bore will distort and get tight again.

Whaaaaaaaat!!!!!!

I think that the difference is almost as important on a t-bar car. The physics are the same, the t-plate still moves in both directions. Not as significant only due to the fact that the t-plate is now part of the dampening system along with the shock, thus doing some of the work that only the shock does in a link car

Yes, they are called Pro 38's and are, well, maximum diameter-38mm. They work great! As usual with Parma the wheels are really straight and the tires excellent :cool:

ETA?

They are supposed to have been released already.

They aren't showing on the website yet.

I will ask about them and let you guys know.

Adrian thanks.

Just a another question or two :rolleyes: .

What size reamer should one use and where can you get one?

Okay 3 questions :lol: .

what is the purpose of running only two pod screws on a t-bar car compared to running all three.

Reason for the questions on t-bar application cars. Is that I've dropped my crc. and running a t-bar car again.

Leaving out the center of the three screws that attach the t-plate to the lower pod plate will soften the t-plate/shock assemble

-E

hey thanks for the info. just curious when and why would you try and soften up the rear end. My guess would be to gain extra traction coming out of corner?
